Heart #113 goes to...Ralph Lauren Childrenswear Girls' Military Coat


Heart #113 goes to...Ralph Lauren Childrenswear Girls' Military Coat!  I love this, but I hate that it's only for children.  Actually, maybe the XL might fit...
It's $160 at Bloomingdale's and it looks nice and cozy for the fall.  The military look is very in for the fall and I love military looks...especially camouflage!
Here's a few different views...
The Ralph Lauren engraved belt buckle.
Mock neck collar with two buttons and webbed cotton belt with metal slider buckle.

Heart #112 goes to...Pineapple Salsa from Trader Joe's


Heart #112 goes to...Pineapple Salsa from Trader Joe's.  This is a great, not too spicy, light and delicious salsa that is great for eating with chips or using as a marinade.  Make sure you buy more than one jar because you will end up finishing the first jar the first time you try it and you will wish you had more.  And it's only $1.99 for a 12ounce jar.
Click the link above and browse Trader Joe's website.  It's cool and they have lots of recipes.

Heart #110 goes to...Michael Kors Camouflage Satchel

Heart #110 goes to...Michael Kors Camouflage Satchel!  I love camouflage and most people that know me, know that.  I also love Michael Kors, I have a few of his pocketbooks and some boots!  So this pocketbook, priced at $268 for the small and $328 for the large, makes me very, very happy.

Heart #109 goes to...Calvin Klein "Kaylor" Platform Pump

Heart #109 goes to...Calvin Klein "Kaylor" Platform Pump!  I'm going to a wedding today, wearing a gorgeous black jumpsuit (so elegant) and these pumps!  They are so comfortable, but the true test will be after wearing them for 5 or 6 hours and lots of dancing.  Got these at Bloomingdale's but I can't seem to find a link to them there.  So I will link the shoes to Amazon where you can find them in black and light grey for $97.26.  Click here...
looks more silver to me than light grey...

Heart #108 goes to...Smooze Fruit Ice

Heart #108 goes to...Smooze Fruit Ice!  This 100% natural, with real fruit purees and juices, icy treat is sooo delicious.  I was at Whole Foods the other day and there was a whole display right near the register I was at.  So, I quickly jumped off the line and grabbed the first box I could without really looking to see which flavor it was.  I'm very satisfied with my choice of coconut and mango, the box is just about empty (they come 10 to a box).  There are three other flavors as well...

I just spent a few minutes looking for the receipt from Whole Foods so that I can tell you how much each box of 10 costs, but I threw it out.  I will come back and post a price as soon as I find out.  I'll probably be heading over to Whole Foods to buy a new flavor anyway. 
Let me also give you a few facts on this product:
*rich in vitamin C
*dairy free
*gluten free
*0% preservatives
*0% cholesterol
*0% trans fat
*low fat
Smooze Fruit Ices are packed on a farm located on the Equator in East Sumatra, Indonesia.
You can also buy them at Amazon by clicking this link.

Heart #107 goes to...Marc by Marc Jacobs Pretty Little Tate Lip-Dot Print Nylon Tote!  During my recent browse through Bloomingdale's I stumbled upon one of my favorite totes (I have the all black print pictured below) in a new Lip-Dot print.  I love the two outside long narrow pockets on either side, all the inside pockets and the magnetic closure.  It's roomy and looks great and sells for $158!  Check out the website for a whole bunch of other prints.  Oh, and the logo lining...love it!

Heart #105 goes to...Skinny Italian by Teresa Giudice

Heart #105 goes to...Skinny Italian by Teresa GiudiceLove, love, love this book.  And that is how Teresa Giudice signed my book this past Tuesday at her book signing at Limoncello Restaurant in Mamaroneck, NY.  She was fashionably late, not too much, but that gave me time to skim through most of the cookbook.  It's filled with color pictures and tons of stories told Teresa style.  She's funny.  And she also sets the record straight on how to pronounce her last name..."It's not Jew-Dice, as Andy Cohen of Bravo says, but more "JUDY-CHAY" said very fast with the emphasis on JUThanks Teresa, because I was pronouncing it wrong and so was everyone I spoke to at the signing.  Now, I can't wait to try out the recipes!
Love, love, love!
Here's a picture of Teresa right before she signed my book, wearing a Jay Godfrey 'Mercer' Liquid Jersey Minidress, which can be found here for $250.



and yes, that's her husband Joe with his back to the picture, right behind her.

Heart #104 goes to...Joby Gorillapod Flexible Tripod

Heart #104 goes to...Joby Gorillapod Flexible Tripod!  I ordered this last week and I love it.  I used it over the weekend at a friend's rehearsal dinner party and I'm glad I had it.  I didn't end up using it as a tripod, but as an extension to the camera that I was holding up in the air to get a better view of the speeches being given.  I used mine with my Flip Mino HD camera.  There are a few to choose from, I ordered the Gorillapod Magnetic.  It holds up to 11.5oz.  It sells for $24.95.  This is a must have!

Heart #103 goes to...Tea Carousel from Get Organized!

Heart #103 goes to...Tea Carousel from Get Organized!  Since I have stopped drinking coffee I drink a lot of tea.  I have boxes and boxes of different teas in my cabinet and I think this would keep it a little neater.  It fits 60 tea bags and only costs $2.99 (was $14.99).  I might get two because I really think it will give me more space.

Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer



Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer!  This is the best $4.95 you will ever spend.  We love hard boiled eggs and egg salad so I use this all the time.  You simply put your eggs and this color changing egg timer in a pot, add water and start to boil.  "The timer takes into account the number of eggs, water used, altitude and your desired level of cooked egg, from soft- to hard-boiled".  As your eggs cook, the red color turns black starting from the outer edges.  I think this is great!  This makes a great stocking stuffer or wishing well gift for a bridal shower!

Heart #89 goes to...Sweet Potato Tempura Roll at Season's Japanese Bistro! I go to this place often and order takeout all the time and I never realized that they had this roll on the menu. I had it yesterday for dinner and today again for lunch. I couldn't help myself, it's that good. I love sweet potatoes, but a sweet potato tempura??? Delicious!  You have to find this at your local sushi place and try it.
